The outer pane is still intact so no need to worry. This is the interior pane of plastic.

it wasn't duct tape. It a special aluminum foil tape that is made specifically for use on airplanes and is called, "speed tape".

Thanks for the link to clear it up.
Looking out of your plane’s window and seeing what looks like duct tape patching up the wings is not a reassuring sight.
Several concerned passengers in recent years have posted photos on social media of taped planes, including a traveler in Australia who tweeted a photo of a Qantas tape-covered wing last month.
Although it appears to be duct tape, what you’re seeing on aircraft wings is actually an aluminum-based material known in the aviation world as speed tape, and it’s perfectly safe for certain types of repairs, according to aviation experts and the Federal Aviation Administration.
“There’s never going to be a piece of garden-variety duct tape used on an airplane,” said John Nance, a veteran pilot and safety consultant. “So if you’re looking at it, it’s called speed tape, and it’s very, very specifically designed to do whatever it is they’re trying to make it do.”
Speed tape is extremely durable, able to withstand up to 600 mph winds and extreme environmental changes if properly applied, according to Nance. 3M says its version of the tape is rated from minus-65 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and is able to withstand moisture, flame, UV rays and chemicals.

I beg your pardon. I certainly don’t want to “ poke a hole in your flap”. Lindy made his crossing in May of 1927. Are you sure no one else did it before 1933? Or is this a pic of a later model of the Pacemaker? Great Pic
Thank You

Pardon for not doing due diligence and background checks. Only quoting what was printed. From the tail number "1929 BELLANCA CH300 PACEMAKER" Frederick might have the log book..I beg your pardon. I certainly don’t want to “ poke a hole in your flap”. Lindy made his crossing in May of 1927. Are you sure no one else did it before 1933? Or is this a pic of a later model of the Pacemaker?

Thanks very much for the additional info. Still, a nice pic of a great looking “ bird”
just by using google: Nxxxx
LOVE the sound of that Radial. They still fly them in Vancouver for aerial tours and for trips to surrounding islands.
